First off, here's my computer specs -

*END EDIT*
So, evidently, a pre-patch started last night. Now I'm having issues. Keep in mind nothing has changed on my computer (hardware or software, except for a new monitor) from the time I installed Windows 7 (3/1/2015) until now.
So here's the problem. Yesterday, I got on and played from about 3pm to 8pm pst. No issues as usual. Then got back on around 10pm. Started the next mission in the list, Mine Enemy. Got through the space and initial ground part just fine, but as soon as I go into the mines and start running around, my game freezes and crashes. Reloaded STO and went back to the mission, which started me in the mines, same thing happens. Tried Force Verifying files, passes. Unchecked Patch on-demand, same issues. Upon digging through Windows Event Viewer, I find this which was created from the crash -
Side note - atidxx32.dll is a Radeon DirectX 11 Driver.
So, I thought it might be my video card drivers and I update them, same issue. Then I tried the latest beta drivers, same issue.
A fellow fleet mate plays on 2 computers (not at the same time, lol). His main computer hasn't done the pre-patch yet and has no issues, but once he got on his other one that has done it, he is experiencing pixel/shader problems.
Now, what I'm wondering is, are our problems related to this pre-patching? Anyone else having problems as well? Solutions?
I personally have been getting rubber banding, lag, SNR, and DC'd for the past two days. Five times in three hours yesterday while I tried to finish one mission that took me three times to do because the lag was messing up the game so badly that it didn't know what to do after I defeated Hakeev... twice.
Here's to hoping the new update fixes this, but I've been playing STO for awhile now... I know to NEVER get my hopes up! :mad:
